doesn't work for me. Does it require any special modules?

??? Undefined function or method 'im2double' for input arguments of type 'uint8'.

Error in ==> nightonearth at 34
set(s,'cdata', im2double(topoud));

Earth-Moon distance is out of scale. Orbital parameters are not considered! This is a totally unrealistic tool.
